Pete sounds slurry to me here like coke/crack slurry. When I first seen Type O in 1996 in London,Ontario at the old Embassy Hotel venue & what a machine Peter was, healthy, great shape, sounded great, the whole band sounded good. Then I seen them at Harpos in Detroit a few times which was great as well as Carnivore once in 1995 I think it was which was rare.
@@sudsysutherland359 He's a New Yorker. We all sound like this, to be honest. Could also be the mic adding a but of fuzz to it but he sounds great to me :)
I’m 19 and I just found out about Type 0 negative and I love it! I was still a child when Peter died, shit such an amazing guy, gone too soon. Fly high green angel
I'm 21. Found out about them about a year ago, because of Christian Woman and Love You to Death. They never failed to put a smile on my face, because (and I mean this with no disrespect) it was all so corny and vampiric and goth, it really brought me joy. Recently I decided to listen to the rest of the albums and became obssessed. Type O Negative gave me a sense of belonging. This guy was out there somewhere and maybe he got me? Maybe I fit somewhere. Problem is I refused to search for any info about them, so not to "spoil the musical experience of it all", which made it much harder to, weeks after the real obsession began, casually stumbling upon a "RIP" comment for him under one of the songs I was listening to here on youtube. My fave band, the corny ass vampire looking singer that put a smile on my face and my """sense of belonging"""... all shattered. He was dead when I was 10. It's been a decade since the band ceased to exist. I grieve someone I never knew and feel more misplaced than ever... I hope I feel better about this soon. Anyway, sorry this vent was longer than expected :/
I was 16 when he died. So they were even before my time. Luckily RUclips had blown up a few years before then and you could listen to almost anything. Thank God for the internet, the closest we have to time travel.
I first heard Type O Negative in 1999. I was 6 years old and fell in love with the band. The lyrics, sound and vocals would just blew my mind. I listened to this band when I was a troubled child and the band helped out a lot with my troubled self. The news of Peter Steele passing devistated me. It was like losing a friend to me. RIP big guy. 🤘
I had alot of fun seeing Type O. A big thanks go to the Drab Four for giving me a wonderful music. Bloody kisses was that album back in 1994 that drew my 12 year old self in. Thank you

He looked like he was doing amazing....He was sober and everything. So sad. It breaks my heart when people break free from their vice's and then the life they are starting to live is ripped from them. Peter was really an amazing man. Always honest, always real. A real good man.

Right?! But listen to this, one time I called an insurance company to discuss my plan details and got a representative that sounded, no fuckin shit, just like Peter. Humorous, polite, and Brooklyn as fuck. I would just make shit up just to hear this guy talk thinking omg could it?
It's sad, but I'm glad he actually got to be happy before he passed away. I used to think it was tragic, and it still kinda is... Although since then I've lost quite a few people in my life (and had before). A lot of them never had a chance at happiness. There were some who did, and it was still hard to deal with the loss, OF COURSE, but it was better to know that they left their life when they were in a good place.
I feel the same. Never in my life have I mourned or missed a person that I didn't know. This much. I hope he realises how many of us loved him, not just the music, but the man he was.
Pete was amazing.... he was smart, he was no dumb rock star...... he was the full package... gone WAY too soon.... I'm so sad I never got to hear his beautiful deep voice live. RIP, sir.
Me them 3 times the 1st time my Mother came and found me hanging out with them and yelled at me in front of them and they made fun of me in the Type O Negative way lol
I never got the chance to see them, heard but wasn't necessarily into their music at the time, but I did get the chance to talk to Peter on a few occasions. He was intelligent, he was respectful and he had a wicked sense of humor. Yeah he was good looking too, but the real Peter was so much more than outward appearances. One of the last great men, a true man, gone far too soon. Miss him.
At the time, same here for sure. But nowadays, I listen to the Corabi Motley Crue album at least a couple times a week. An awesome album, just put out at the wrong time. Corabi is an amazing singer and the production of the album was fantastic. It still holds up to this day in my opinion.
@@stacymanning2393 He doesn't have typical East Slavic appearance he looked like he was more from some Mediterrean country - maybe even Croatia , Montenegro
He would have been a great father. I'm sure there are kids listening to him, who have bad parents, and will learn something from his interviews. Some parents won't accept your depression, for example. It's ok, listen to him. He was laughing about anything, no matter what. That's invaluable.
He once joked that he might have a secret kid out somewhere, with all the women he fucked it would be no surprise, who knows, maybe one day we’ll find out😂
Somewhere out there is an alternative universe, where he is alive and working in the parks he loved, has cats and perhaps a small family. In this universe, kudos for all you brought to us. 💚
To anyone reading this. 4 years ago I was lost and on a really self destructive downward spiral. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life after graduating...living in the middle of no where midwest, and numbingly depressed because of it. I remember seeing this, and hearing Pete mention learning a trade. I decided to get into trade school 2 years ago and am about to graduate and have a job lined up things haven't been this secure and set for me in a long time and it feels great to finally be on a good path. I want to thank Pete for not only his music but his wise words. You had such a far reaching impact Pete. Rest In Peace big guy.
@@Chief-Solarize Hello sir, my name is Chris and I was very touched by your comment. You don't know me but I feel like telling you: please don't feel too guilty, you seem like a good person. Fact of the matter is that - as opposed to your friends who were either killed or committed suicide - you're alive. There's a reason for that, and I think God has a plan for you. You're very courageous to admit your own wrong doings and you're very wise to learn from them. This was your path, this was your destiny. Also note that you're far from the only one to have fallen in that trap. Please try to forgive yourself for any mistakes from the past: you were very young and it wasn't your fault as you were beguiled into thinking you were fighting for your country and freedom. You only did what you thought was best. You're still very young (40 is the new 30) and you own a house and land, you're in a good spot. If you have moral values and wisdom, you'll be fine. You have a new life ahead of you now x Chris.
There's something reassuring about his voice which can't be explained in layman terms. You are at once sure of yourself when he starts speaking. Too bad he went away soon.
@@kali7906 I thought it were the drugs too, that caused a heart attack. But his family stated that he died of a septic diverticulitis. Which can hit anyone. He didnt went to a hospital as he thought it was just a cold, so it became a sepsis, which caused a fatal aneurysm. His story of drugs and alcohol surely didnt helped him here. And he must have known that giant guys should look after their health very carefully, as they are prone to diseases anyway.
@@molletre9606 Some months ago i looked about that true cause of death explained by his family, and i tried to make it know the spanish community of T.O.N about that in Peter's spanish Wikipedia, but they only believe it as a rumor for now, I was only able to write Septic Diverticulitis could "possibly" be his cause of death to not cause more problem, they didn't actualize info about him and his cause of death since last October and I'm honestly a little worried about that.
@@doukai2374 His family (all FIVE of his sisters and countless other relatives) themselves said that “Petrus” was NEVER his name. Hope you’ve figured that out in however long it takes for you to read my response!!
Interestingly, Johnny or Kelly, (I can't remember which one) once said something to that effect too. Something along the lines of, "Peter was a very big guy. Maybe there's a price to pay for being so big."
Man, Al Jourgensen, that man must truly be immortal...guy's been abusing his body since the late '70s and he's even older than Peter hahaha @@scottlosey4978
I'm met him back in 2000, Milwaukee Wisconsin. He was cool as hell. This chick with huge boobs ran up to him and jumped in his arms. He was like, "Whoa, got milk?" Everyone around him busted out laughing. He really cared about his fans though. They were all funny guys. You should check out Kenny's new band, Eye Am. They're really bad ass.
Peter was as tall as I am, which is rare. 6'8" is fuckin tall. Tall enough to duck when walking through doorways. You so used to ducking that even if there is plenty of room, you still duck..... Fucking habits. Still listen to Type O Negative.
So true! My ex was 7’ and his bestie was 7’1. I’m barely 5’. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone really. Things is shorties never think about like even a shower head. He hated driving my Xterra too. Always used his old dinky truck as that was one he could comfortably drive, despite being old as heck. Also, the back pain and constant bending over to talk to people comfortably.
He looked so good in this video, like he was finally back to being himself after all of those years. He finally seemed happy. Its so sad he was gone soon after this, but I'm glad that he got to experience a bit of happiness first.
He hit his body pretty hard, both with exercise and booze/drugs. Addiction is a terrible illness, and combined with mental health issues, it's a killer.
I hope he was able to atone his regrets. Because he has had such an impact on people’s mental health. He helps mine to this day. Peter was truly amazing 💚💚💚💚💚
I'm addicted to listening to this man. I just found out who he is, and I'm in my 30s. What a genuine, loveable human. And he's super smart. I just love his logic. I watched an interview, it was about him getting up at 4 am to work. He was a full throttle man, alpha, that's for sure. The pressure of life, without self care, is too much for the heart, but like he said, it's about pride, and principle...so he always gave things he was involved in, his all. I think he was a real man, and I adore him. His intelligence is seriously staggering.
I’m happy you found him. I was lucky enough to grow up going to see Type O live more times than I can remember. He was a musical savant for sure. A natural left handed person who learned how to play guitar right handed because he couldn’t find a left hand guitar. Just another example of his talent and genius.
I just found out about him this past year and I'm 49. Watched his interviews and fell in love, but had to find out he died.💔😢😭😭😭😭 So gentlemanly, intelligent, hardworking, down to earth, funny and sweet. Respect this man so much.
Seeing this for the first time made me miss him so much more than I did before.. It's soon going to be 10 years. He deserved all the good things life was about to give him
If Peter Steel lived I could have seen Type O Negative taking a hiatus for several years. Sometime in the last few years they would have re-emerged Peter with a long thick beard hair turning white. Man I wish that could have happened.
@@iidentifyasayoutubertoday7025 oh please if he’s so much happier why the fuck don’t u people go there and leave us sane people. Your Jesus is a joke so is your god. The pandemic has proven this and yet you people still exist and worship an Invisible man that couldn’t t give 2 shits about his supposed “children. Hides like a coward would watching them die after they call his name in prayer for a year and a half. SMH
I saw them as a teenager back in 2003, went to see another band and was blown away by them. It was Cradle of Filth headlining, who I went to see,, Moonspell opened, and Type O was nudged in the middle.. I thought Moonspell was pretty cool, but TON was something else entirely. I left a fan that night. Cradle sucked. I bought their albums the next day. I just didn't have exposure to them until that point and it was so good. One of my best concert going experiences. Funny thing is, Pete was standing by the bar with some other band members before the show. Had no idea who he was, but he clearly stood out. Just thought he was a jolly green giant. Wasn't ever able to see them again.
God, his voice is driving me crazy. All his energy is wildly captivating, it is impossible to tear yourself away from him.. I read a lot of his interviews, a lot of testimonies of different people, and I realized that Peter had a big kind heart. How he helped many people for free, and no one loved women so beautifully and with such respect as he did. It was most interesting to read the work of Jeff Wagner about Peter. I cried, my heart was so touched .... Peter is the most noble, strong, wise and infinitely hot image of men of all time. Eternal memory to the wonderful green Giant💘🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also, FYI: At the time of the interview, Peter was dealing with Sepsis caused by diverticulitis and he was living in Scranton, PA, with his girlfriend at the time, and shortly after Peter died Type O Negative disbanded, and the fact that we’re reaching the 11th anniversary of his death (almost to the day). Also I would like to mention that he was sober 4 months prior to this documentary being aired.
You're not the first person who mentioned the illness he was battling with at the time. Yet I'm surprised as to why it's all news to me. Is this now the official cause of death?
@@yvesheinrich5013 thanks very much I wasn’t really a big type O fan anyways because of the era they came out of and I was born in the early 2000’s so if you do the year that he was born and the year he died you would find out very quickly how old he was at the time of the interview and also I was wrong he died the day after this interview premiered.
I remember seeing them in concert. Peter drank an entire bottle of Merlot on stage. That beast could drink. It was my favorite concert. I wish I could have met them. They were signing autographs but I was too much of a pussy to meet them after the concert. I regret it.
I miss these guys so much. Especially this time of year. The Halloween shows were always great. Type O Negative helped me through some of my depressing days. I was inspired to play bass and dabble with keyboards because of these guys. RIP
Peter was the nicest guy ever. I was expecting him to be an asshole and rip my head off. Complete opposite. Funny, engaging , and just a all out cool dude. Rest in peace Peter I miss ya very much.
I remember being in highschool in the 90s and my friends making fun of me for loving type O, fucked with me for being "goth" and saying it's a dumb fad or phase..., here I am in 2021 still listening to October Rust like it was just released last week. Turns out it wasn't a phase lol
I’ll never forget the first time I saw Type O Negative I was 15 years old and saw them several more times they were such a great band. Still listen to the music in 2023
Lisa C I mean that’s not wrong. Peter seemed to stick his head out at random people and either completely destroy their sense of ego or ask them why the hell did they go to his band’s concert. That sound like a parent to me. Weird he never had kids.
@@lisac2094 Not so weird, based on what was mentioned in this vid. Plus, he was well known for being beloved by the kids and other regulars who visited the parks he worked at. The kids are the ones that initially gave him the nickname “The Green Man” that he continued to utilize in various ways once Type 0 began to kick off.
Peter, I love you. Your music is so amazing....Rest in peace my friend. I`m so sad because I have never had an opportunity to be on your concert ......We fans missing you Peter........
He is such an incredible man and artist. Incredible human being. He will live on forever to everyone who adored him. Such a fucking shame how soon he was taken away.. right when he was turning his life back around and doing well. I’m so blessed and grateful to have grown up listening to their music. People who don’t know them are missing out on so much. RIP Pete🖤💚
Happy Birthday. Even though it is sad day as well. All we can do is keep listening to Type O.

There has been quite a few musicians, from bands that I like, that have died over the last 20 years... But this guy passing away is the one that hurts me the most. Pete and Type O' Negative were just such a great and unique band... Always put out great music. True genius musicianship. For me, they are missed so much and nobody else sounds like them. When I see an interview like this, I just can't help but to pause, shake my head, and think "damn, I wish that guy was still around".
Someone in one of these comment sections said how amazing a Peter Steele podcast would’ve been. Oh man it would’ve been amazing. Only the good die young. RIP Peter the green man. The dark angel 🖤🖤🖤
I absolutely adore them and I appreciate them as a person and as a band so much too. I appreciate all the vulnerability they have put out over the years and i have gained so much empathy for them. They have been through a lot and i’m so thankful they were willing to put that out there (essentially for money) for us fans. Without them i would’ve been in an even darker place. They have thought and warned me about upcoming experiences i’m going to have in life as a teenager (death, ?drugs?, sex, heartbreak,… you name it) and i’m so thankful for that. I hope that after all these years they can finally leave all that darkness behind and feel better. I wish them the absolute best for their family and i hope that Peter’s energy and spirit is right where it needs to be.
My god man, I know people throw the phrase around all the time and it can be attributed to various artists, but it's just not fair to live in a world where people like this, sober, and ready to show the world their potential and who they really are, with all their intelligence, integrity and creativity returning, have to pass.
One time Type O played here, I waited out by the bus after with a few other people to see if the band would talk to us or anything. Johnny and Kenny did, Josh briefly did. Peter came out and said to us that he would be right back and then went on the bus. He never came back out but there was a girl that did the walk of shame off of the bus shortly after and immediately got in a cab and left. Wasn't even mad, it's hilarious to me that he blew off the fans so he could just screw some random chick on the bus.
I think I read your review on a different website. Same story. I saw Type O Negatuve in Las Vegas in 1997. Was the best show ever. I crowd surfed several times during their set it was amazing. I wish I remembered more.
Been on a bit of a Pete Steele binge- it seems to me he was always trying to hide behind the persona - and yet I suspect the ongoing fascination isn't just about the music but about exactly who he was - seems very elusive. I am so sad that he passed away without being able to really feel ok in his own skin.
There was never was, is, or ever will be anyone remotely close to Peter. Personality, honesty, whit, humor, expression of thought without a single lie, song writing, stage presence and talent. Always insightful and entertaining.Talented and never egotistical, NEVER took himself seriously, and a genuinely kind, good person. Bands/Musicians performing now are Taco Bell. Listen to them and crap them out. May Peter's music, charisma, and legend live forever.
It's so sad he died soon after this interview. He looked and sounded like he was on his way back to his best. RIP Peter

He would have been a great father. I'm sure there are kids listening to him, who have bad parents, and will learn something from his interviews. Some parents won't accept your depression, for example. It's ok, listen to him. He was laughing about anything, no matter what. That's invaluable.
He once joked that he might have a secret kid out somewhere, with all the women he fucked it would be no surprise, who knows, maybe one day we’ll find out😂
Lmao shame he didn't pass on his godlike genes
@@friendlyenemy2314 his girlfriend got an abortion… so he did try to have a kid
I was literally thinking that: he would have been a great father!
10 years
miss you Pete
RIP Green Man
Somewhere out there is an alternative universe, where he is alive and working in the parks he loved, has cats and perhaps a small family.
In this universe, kudos for all you brought to us. 💚
I feel like crying when i realize i didnt even had the chance to see them live... Feels like i was robbed of something.
Same here. I was born in 95, too late unfortunately and never had the chance
i feel you 😭😭
To anyone reading this. 4 years ago I was lost and on a really self destructive downward spiral. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life after graduating...living in the middle of no where midwest, and numbingly depressed because of it. I remember seeing this, and hearing Pete mention learning a trade. I decided to get into trade school 2 years ago and am about to graduate and have a job lined up things haven't been this secure and set for me in a long time and it feels great to finally be on a good path. I want to thank Pete for not only his music but his wise words. You had such a far reaching impact Pete. Rest In Peace big guy.
Congrats dude
What trade did you decide on?
You go for your life! Congratulations! Enjoy the rewards! There will be plenty!
Yes, he was a very smart man. So glad that you drew knowledge from his interviews!
@@Chief-Solarize Hello sir, my name is Chris and I was very touched by your comment. You don't know me but I feel like telling you: please don't feel too guilty, you seem like a good person.
Fact of the matter is that - as opposed to your friends who were either killed or committed suicide - you're alive. There's a reason for that, and I think God has a plan for you.
You're very courageous to admit your own wrong doings and you're very wise to learn from them. This was your path, this was your destiny. Also note that you're far from the only one to have fallen in that trap.
Please try to forgive yourself for any mistakes from the past: you were very young and it wasn't your fault as you were beguiled into thinking you were fighting for your country and freedom. You only did what you thought was best.
You're still very young (40 is the new 30) and you own a house and land, you're in a good spot. If you have moral values and wisdom, you'll be fine.
You have a new life ahead of you now x Chris.
Watching Peter helps me with my anxiety and depression. When I feel down I listen to TON or I just listen to his interviews.
Me too it's very comforting
There's something reassuring about his voice which can't be explained in layman terms. You are at once sure of yourself when he starts speaking. Too bad he went away soon.
I'm happy he got clean from substance abuse in late years. It was sad to see him intoxicated on stage in mid 2000's.
Peter looked better here than the interview where he mentioned his family and jail. Shame his body failed him, that’s the case with giant guys tho.
Too many drugs and alcohol had its affect on him even though he was sober six months.
@@kali7906 I thought it were the drugs too, that caused a heart attack. But his family stated that he died of a septic diverticulitis. Which can hit anyone. He didnt went to a hospital as he thought it was just a cold, so it became a sepsis, which caused a fatal aneurysm.
His story of drugs and alcohol surely didnt helped him here. And he must have known that giant guys should look after their health very carefully, as they are prone to diseases anyway.
Molle Tre I just looked up diverticulitis... ugh I kinda wish I hadn’t! 😫
@@molletre9606 Some months ago i looked about that true cause of death explained by his family, and i tried to make it know the spanish community of T.O.N about that in Peter's spanish Wikipedia, but they only believe it as a rumor for now, I was only able to write Septic Diverticulitis could "possibly" be his cause of death to not cause more problem, they didn't actualize info about him and his cause of death since last October and I'm honestly a little worried about that.
Petrus T. Ratajczyk

His name is not and never was “Petrus”.
@@FutureGirl2033 actually that was his real name, hope you figured that out in three months
@@doukai2374 His family (all FIVE of his sisters and countless other relatives) themselves said that “Petrus” was NEVER his name.
Hope you’ve figured that out in however long it takes for you to read my response!!
@@FutureGirl2033
Petrus is Latin form of Peter
I think the fact that he was 6’8 didn’t help matters. Tall ppl generally don’t live as long.
Interestingly, Johnny or Kelly, (I can't remember which one) once said something to that effect too. Something along the lines of, "Peter was a very big guy. Maybe there's a price to pay for being so big."
@@zipthepinheadKareem Abdul Jabbar Is Over 70 And Over 7ft Tall 🤣
This world needs a Peter Steele right now.
We have many. We just don't realize it yet, because they're still alive.
We still have Al Jorgensen.....
Man, Al Jourgensen, that man must truly be immortal...guy's been abusing his body since the late '70s and he's even older than Peter hahaha @@scottlosey4978
we need him for what? we need JESUS buddy
Man I miss Pete. He would NOT like modern society if here were still here though.
not a chance
Rightfully so
That's for damn sure! I can barely stand it. When Taylor Swift is Time Magazine's "person of the year" in 2023, you know we're fucked.
He’s that guy that you miss but you’ve never met him before. I wonder what he’d think of todays world…
he would be based and cool i think.
I'm met him back in 2000, Milwaukee Wisconsin. He was cool as hell. This chick with huge boobs ran up to him and jumped in his arms. He was like, "Whoa, got milk?" Everyone around him busted out laughing. He really cared about his fans though. They were all funny guys. You should check out Kenny's new band, Eye Am. They're really bad ass.
Peter was as tall as I am, which is rare. 6'8" is fuckin tall. Tall enough to duck when walking through doorways. You so used to ducking that even if there is plenty of room, you still duck..... Fucking habits. Still listen to Type O Negative.
So true! My ex was 7’ and his bestie was 7’1. I’m barely 5’. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone really. Things is shorties never think about like even a shower head. He hated driving my Xterra too. Always used his old dinky truck as that was one he could comfortably drive, despite being old as heck. Also, the back pain and constant bending over to talk to people comfortably.
What I'd give to be 6'8
He looked so good in this video, like he was finally back to being himself after all of those years. He finally seemed happy.
Its so sad he was gone soon after this, but I'm glad that he got to experience a bit of happiness first.
He hit his body pretty hard, both with exercise and booze/drugs. Addiction is a terrible illness, and combined with mental health issues, it's a killer.
I hope he was able to atone his regrets. Because he has had such an impact on people’s mental health. He helps mine to this day. Peter was truly amazing 💚💚💚💚💚
He looked here like he was ready to be an exemplary dad.
u are truly missed Peter ...u were kind when i met you on Halloween at your show....a true Gentleman indded
I'm addicted to listening to this man. I just found out who he is, and I'm in my 30s. What a genuine, loveable human. And he's super smart. I just love his logic. I watched an interview, it was about him getting up at 4 am to work. He was a full throttle man, alpha, that's for sure. The pressure of life, without self care, is too much for the heart, but like he said, it's about pride, and principle...so he always gave things he was involved in, his all. I think he was a real man, and I adore him. His intelligence is seriously staggering.
I’m happy you found him. I was lucky enough to grow up going to see Type O live more times than I can remember. He was a musical savant for sure. A natural left handed person who learned how to play guitar right handed because he couldn’t find a left hand guitar. Just another example of his talent and genius.
I just found out about him this past year and I'm 49. Watched his interviews and fell in love, but had to find out he died.💔😢😭😭😭😭 So gentlemanly, intelligent, hardworking, down to earth, funny and sweet. Respect this man so much.
I'm 31 and just found out about him last year! So sad I won't get to see him live, what a powerhouse!
@@johnnyrust That's so cool! I'm also a lefty but damn, not as intelligent as him! That's incredible...
@@sjorge388 are you a fan of Type O? I’ve been obsessing over An Ode to Locksmiths. That man worshipped womenkind
" I used to cut myself..." Oh dear I love you Peter . I feel kinda sad too, now that I know this, all the pain you might felt on the inside
"I would call their mother up onstage." Only if more frontmen did that. RIP to a legend.
They tried to clone Peter Steele but it malfunctioned and we got Tommy Wiseau instead.
Is that true ?
@@midnightblue3285 Yes. It's kind of common knowledge by now. You can look it up basically anywhere.

If Peter Steel lived I could have seen Type O Negative taking a hiatus for several years. Sometime in the last few years they would have re-emerged Peter with a long thick beard hair turning white.
Man I wish that could have happened.
Gets his life back on track, feels good and healthy. Grows super manly beard.....dies. So sad ;(
He gave his life to Jesus in the end. I'm sure he is much happier where he is now.
@@iidentifyasayoutubertoday7025 oh please if he’s so much happier why the fuck don’t u people go there and leave us sane people. Your Jesus is a joke so is your god. The pandemic has proven this and yet you people still exist and worship an Invisible man that couldn’t t give 2 shits about his supposed “children. Hides like a coward would watching them die after they call his name in prayer for a year and a half. SMH
I saw them as a teenager back in 2003, went to see another band and was blown away by them. It was Cradle of Filth headlining, who I went to see,, Moonspell opened, and Type O was nudged in the middle.. I thought Moonspell was pretty cool, but TON was something else entirely. I left a fan that night. Cradle sucked. I bought their albums the next day. I just didn't have exposure to them until that point and it was so good. One of my best concert going experiences. Funny thing is, Pete was standing by the bar with some other band members before the show. Had no idea who he was, but he clearly stood out. Just thought he was a jolly green giant. Wasn't ever able to see them again.
God, his voice is driving me crazy. All his energy is wildly captivating, it is impossible to tear yourself away from him.. I read a lot of his interviews, a lot of testimonies of different people, and I realized that Peter had a big kind heart. How he helped many people for free, and no one loved women so beautifully and with such respect as he did. It was most interesting to read the work of Jeff Wagner about Peter. I cried, my heart was so touched .... Peter is the most noble, strong, wise and infinitely hot image of men of all time. Eternal memory to the wonderful green Giant💘🔥🔥🔥🔥
6:50 lol wtf?💀
Yeah, huh. But that's just Peter...weird af
Also, FYI: At the time of the interview, Peter was dealing with Sepsis caused by diverticulitis and he was living in Scranton, PA, with his girlfriend at the time, and shortly after Peter died Type O Negative disbanded, and the fact that we’re reaching the 11th anniversary of his death (almost to the day). Also I would like to mention that he was sober 4 months prior to this documentary being aired.
You're not the first person who mentioned the illness he was battling with at the time. Yet I'm surprised as to why it's all news to me. Is this now the official cause of death?
@@yvesheinrich5013 thanks very much I wasn’t really a big type O fan anyways because of the era they came out of and I was born in the early 2000’s so if you do the year that he was born and the year he died you would find out very quickly how old he was at the time of the interview and also I was wrong he died the day after this interview premiered.
And yes that’s the official cause of death.
@courtneylovefan thank you
Type O could never go on without Peter...he WAS the whole image. But all of them were nice guys. Does anyone know who his gorlfriend was?
Peter Steele is missed. Though sadly TON is missed as a whole. Forever will be impersonators but never duplicators.
I remember seeing them in concert. Peter drank an entire bottle of Merlot on stage. That beast could drink. It was my favorite concert. I wish I could have met them. They were signing autographs but I was too much of a pussy to meet them after the concert. I regret it.
What’s you expect from a 6’10” elephant that held a 34” bass like Chuck Schuldiner held his little BC Rich Stealth?
Still missed. A die hard fan since 1993. When i dont feel so good, i Always Type O negative.
I miss these guys so much. Especially this time of year. The Halloween shows were always great. Type O Negative helped me through some of my depressing days. I was inspired to play bass and dabble with keyboards because of these guys. RIP
Peter was the nicest guy ever. I was expecting him to be an asshole and rip my head off. Complete opposite. Funny, engaging , and just a all out cool dude. Rest in peace Peter I miss ya very much.
I remember being in highschool in the 90s and my friends making fun of me for loving type O, fucked with me for being "goth" and saying it's a dumb fad or phase..., here I am in 2021 still listening to October Rust like it was just released last week. Turns out it wasn't a phase lol
What I always respected about Peter is he'll call you out as fast as he'll call himself out. A truly fair yet chaotic man
Most humble down to earth in one of the greatest songwriters ever, and he is sorely and greatly missed
I’ll never forget the first time I saw Type O Negative I was 15 years old and saw them several more times they were such a great band. Still listen to the music in 2023
He's so parental
That’s a weird comment dude and creepy actually.
Lisa C
I mean that’s not wrong. Peter seemed to stick his head out at random people and either completely destroy their sense of ego or ask them why the hell did they go to his band’s concert. That sound like a parent to me. Weird he never had kids.
@@lisac2094 Not so weird, based on what was mentioned in this vid. Plus, he was well known for being beloved by the kids and other regulars who visited the parks he worked at. The kids are the ones that initially gave him the nickname “The Green Man” that he continued to utilize in various ways once Type 0 began to kick off.
Peter, I love you. Your music is so amazing....Rest in peace my friend. I`m so sad because I have never had an opportunity to be on your concert ......We fans missing you Peter........
Damn I miss him so much. I've been watching a lot of Pete since his 10 year death anniversary. He was a gentle giant. RIP bud.
He didn’t die of heart failure
He found the light and died , rip
Peter didn't die because of a heart attack but sepsis caused by diverticulitis.
God I miss him
Time changes 😢🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fucck yes
Time changes 😢🎉🎉🎉🎉

He is such an incredible man and artist. Incredible human being. He will live on forever to everyone who adored him. Such a fucking shame how soon he was taken away.. right when he was turning his life back around and doing well. I’m so blessed and grateful to have grown up listening to their music. People who don’t know them are missing out on so much. RIP Pete🖤💚
in my opinion, we need a Netflix documentary about Peter Steele and Type O Negative.

Happy Birthday. Even though it is sad day as well. All we can do is keep listening to Type O.
There has been quite a few musicians, from bands that I like, that have died over the last 20 years... But this guy passing away is the one that hurts me the most. Pete and Type O' Negative were just such a great and unique band... Always put out great music. True genius musicianship. For me, they are missed so much and nobody else sounds like them. When I see an interview like this, I just can't help but to pause, shake my head, and think "damn, I wish that guy was still around".
Peter and Layne were the 2 that ripped my soul out.
Same thoughts .. I often think of Peter and his afterlife
He looked so good with the beard. So sad he died. R.I.P.
Was his funeral just for family? I've never seen anything about this
Damn what an intelligent man he was! Deep thinker. He’s truly missed…RIP Peter, hope you found your inner peace
A real working class man who did a real job while he was in Type 0 and his bass playing was out of this world as well as his great voice n lyrics.💚😎🖤
Rest In Peace, Peter. You’ve been gone ten years now, but I still listen to Type O every day. You are missed.
Death makes angels of us all........
I’m a picker personally: purge the impurity on the skin and treat it with disenfectant
He was extremely witty and hilarious all the way up until the end.
Someone in one of these comment sections said how amazing a Peter Steele podcast would’ve been. Oh man it would’ve been amazing. Only the good die young. RIP Peter the green man. The dark angel 🖤🖤🖤
I love his sense of humor. His interviews were always great!
1:45 this whole part had me dying
Same 🤣🤣
I absolutely adore them and I appreciate them as a person and as a band so much too. I appreciate all the vulnerability they have put out over the years and i have gained so much empathy for them. They have been through a lot and i’m so thankful they were willing to put that out there (essentially for money) for us fans. Without them i would’ve been in an even darker place. They have thought and warned me about upcoming experiences i’m going to have in life as a teenager (death, ?drugs?, sex, heartbreak,… you name it) and i’m so thankful for that. I hope that after all these years they can finally leave all that darkness behind and feel better. I wish them the absolute best for their family and i hope that Peter’s energy and spirit is right where it needs to be.
My god man, I know people throw the phrase around all the time and it can be attributed to various artists, but it's just not fair to live in a world where people like this, sober, and ready to show the world their potential and who they really are, with all their intelligence, integrity and creativity returning, have to pass.
When he said that shit about how he lied about fucking chicks. Dude, that shit is fuuuunny lol
One time Type O played here, I waited out by the bus after with a few other people to see if the band would talk to us or anything. Johnny and Kenny did, Josh briefly did. Peter came out and said to us that he would be right back and then went on the bus. He never came back out but there was a girl that did the walk of shame off of the bus shortly after and immediately got in a cab and left. Wasn't even mad, it's hilarious to me that he blew off the fans so he could just screw some random chick on the bus.
I think I read your review on a different website. Same story. I saw Type O Negatuve in Las Vegas in 1997. Was the best show ever. I crowd surfed several times during their set it was amazing. I wish I remembered more.
Steele died of sepsis caused by diverticulitis (initially reported as heart failure) on April 14, 2010 at the age of 48
I miss you Peter. Thank you for your music. It helped me so much
Been on a bit of a Pete Steele binge- it seems to me he was always trying to hide behind the persona - and yet I suspect the ongoing fascination isn't just about the music but about exactly who he was - seems very elusive. I am so sad that he passed away without being able to really feel ok in his own skin.
There was never was, is, or ever will be anyone remotely close to Peter. Personality, honesty, whit, humor, expression of thought without a single lie, song writing, stage presence and talent. Always insightful and entertaining.Talented and never egotistical, NEVER took himself seriously, and a genuinely kind, good person.
Bands/Musicians performing now are Taco Bell. Listen to them and crap them out.
May Peter's music, charisma, and legend live forever.
